Kennedy:

Confused.

That is how I feel once I had woken up. Justin had his arm wrapped around my waist and I was snuggled up against his warm chest. My eyes wandered around the room, spotting my clothes from last night discarded onto the floor. 

Wait. 

I peak under the covers and let out a sigh of relief. We're both clean and wearing clothes, thank god. Justin starts to stir in his sleep, a groan escapes his light pink lips. I freeze when Justin wraps his arm right back around me. 

Slowly, I sink back into his touch and rest my head against the pillow. Now what? I need to go home. Home as in Seattle. My days off from being Ashley was ending. I need to go back, un dye my hair and act like I had no clue on what happened over the weekend. But I'm so freaking tired. Maybe I should just close my eyes for a bit and enjoy the moment while it lasted, 

Being in Justin's arms as Kennedy.

"I don't get why you're leaving so early." Isabel groans, "Even Zach is staying a little longer!" 

I had left Justin's place about an hour ago. I had changed back into my own clothes and piled his onto a loveseat that was in the corner of his room and left him a note, thanking him, as tacky as that sounded. I'm sure he woundn't mind. Plus, he has a girlfriend. I can't keep playing buddy buddy with him when he has a girlfriend even though she's not actually here and in reality its me. 

I sigh and zip up my suitcase, "I don't really have a choice, I have a life to get back to, Izzy." I remind her. She stays silent for a moment, watching me with intense eyes. "Ross is staying at a hotel for a bit since he refuses to stay in this house any longer. I think Ross is even leaving with him. Maybe I could, you know, come to seattle with you...?" She squeaks.

"You know you can't do that. You have dance and a boyfriend and a life to continue on with. I know its hard and trust me, I don't like the thought of Kory being our soon to be step mom but honestly, there's nothing I can do about it but move on. This ins't your problem, or Zach's or Ross's or Ashley's or even mine. Its theirs. If they can't deal with that fact that we don't accept their relationship then its their problem." 

"Ashley is a bitch, she's not even here." Isabel snaps. "Maybe, but she'll be back in time for the wedding." I remind her. Ashley already knows about the enagagement but she doesn't really know. I had texted her on my way out of Justin's place and she said that she was in London now. Her plan was to keep traveling while she could. "I need to go now, I'll see you again in a few months." I say, hugging my little sister. She hugs me back before he pull apart. I say good bye to Zach, Ross and Kris. My dad and Kory aren't in the house. I don't want to know where they are and nor do I care. 

I get to the airport around three o'clock and i'm about to get onto the plane. I had chnaged into some plain jeans and a black zip up sweater. When I get on the plane, I take out the magazines I bought to pass the time since I didn't have a book on me. I groan when I see what's on the cover of the magazine, the older lady in the seat next to me gives me a look.

"Troublesome teenagers these days, they should just get extinct or something." I fakley joke and she murmures an 'mhm' under her breath, returning back to her own book. On the cover is a picture of Justin and I leaving the sketchy bar. I turn to the page 6 and read the page;

The biebs was spotted at an resturant last night with the King family but his girlfriend no where in sight! But, the photographs show Bieber and a mystery brunette walking side by side and later on that night, leaving a bar right by the resturant and into his car. 

No one know's who the girl is but all we do know is that she isn't Ashley. Is Jashley over? Or is this a cheating scandel! 

But not to worry to you Jashley lovers, The Biebs tweeted a photo last night on Twitter, captioning the photo with 'night out, friendly chats.' Jashley may still be together! 

A few photos were also on the page, showing Justin and I walking into the resturant with the rest of my family and a lot from us walking out of the bar and getting into his car. You couldn't see my face due to the fact that I was blocked by Justin's body and my fedora was covering my face as well. I decide to sleep for the rest of the short ride.

When we land in Seattle, I had left the airport and I was on my way to Dylan's car which was parked outside the airport, waiting for me. I stopped in my tracks when I felt my phone vibrating in my back pocket. I fish out my phone and frown at the unknown caller I.D. 

"Hello?" 

"Why the hell are there pictures of you and Justin walking out of a bar?" 

Oh shit.
